Interested in different models for facilitating clinical reasoning in clinical education?  To find out about some alternative learning experiences, over 200 participants attended a recent webinar hosted by ACAPT National Consortium of Clinical Educators (NCCE.)  

During this inaugural resource-sharing webinar, NCCE academic and clinical pair representatives from member institution University of Montana shared tools they developed.

• Listen to the recorded alternative learning experiences webinar.
  
  
• Dr. Jaclyn Carson, CI & SCCE, works with students in their outpatient neuro & ortho clinic in a 4:1 model two afternoons per week with second- and third-year DPT students. 
  
  She created a patient case worksheet & PPT discussing the worksheet.
  
  
• Dr. Jennifer Bell, DCE & Clinical Assistant Professor, created a model where DPT students spend their mornings in the classroom and their afternoons in the clinic. The innovative approach allows students to work with faculty to treat patients and deepen their clinical reasoning in a collaborative learning model. 
  
  Check out her diagnostic clinical reasoning  worksheet & PPT discussing worksheet.
  
  
• Another useful resource is this published article: Clinical reasoning of expert vs novice PT clinicians in an outpatient orthopedic setting

If you work for an ACAPT member institution, be sure that your DCE and academic/clinical pair are members of NCCE – at no additional cost.  Learn more at acapt.org/ncce.
